THE TEXTBOOK

A comprehensive approach to care promotes critical thinking and clinical judgment to teach students how to "Think Like a Nurse" from the very first day. A consistent and concise organization along with a wealth of pedagogical features emphasizes the Thinking, Doing, and Caring at the heart of professional practice.

In every chapter, students first explore the theoretical knowledge behind key Fundamentals concepts. Then, they learn the practical knowledge guided by the nursing process; and finally, the skills and procedures for safe and effective nursing care.
